AI built for workers,
not against them
We don’t replace people. We support your work.
It drafts, you decide. Your organizers, comms leads, and researchers stay. They get back the hours that paperwork, translation, and data entry were taking, and spend them on what only people can do: build relationships, organize a room, and fight for the workers next to them.
More capacity, same people, and we will never sell it as a way to cut staff.
Your organizers should be organizing.
Not drowning in busywork.
A few of the ways unions put it to work, whether you buy one seat or run a whole international.
Member communications
Write to stewards, shifts, and worksites using the vernacular each group uses, in the languages your members speak. One draft becomes twenty that read like they were written on that floor.
Research without a data team
Ask for wages by job and state, the union wage premium, a bill’s sponsors and votes, or who funds the other side, and the answer comes back with the record behind it. Civic Intelligence is in every seat.
Campaign and organizing materials
Field materials, talking points, social posts, and mobilization plans, in your voice and on your issues. Coordinate the message across locals without flattening it.
Meetings and briefings
Scribe takes the notes during your meetings and puts them in your chat. Leadership briefings, action items, and reports come out of the notes instead of someone pulling them together on a Sunday night.
Knowledge that survives turnover
Contract language, past campaigns, and what worked live in a shared collection with local-level permissions. New staff start with the institution’s memory, not a blank page.
Your data stays yours
An open model on secure servers. We don’t sell your data, we don’t train on it, and nobody surveils worker activity through us. Deletion on request within 24 hours.
Built with unions, not just sold to them.
Union staff shaped what this platform does for organizers, and they’ll continue shaping it.
Real work, recorded.
Take a look at a tool a union built with us, and two questions our platform answered exactly as they happened. Every source is named, nothing is made up, and a person on your team always decides what gets published.
Department of Labor audit database
This tool was proudly built with the union during its pilot, and every seat on its instance has it. Years of scattered DOL audit letters became one searchable tool. Staff ask in plain English and get an answer in seconds with the letter it came from, no sifting through a filing cabinet.
We are bargaining a contract for workers in Cleveland. What does a full-time worker need to earn per hour to afford a two-bedroom apartment at HUD fair market rent in Cuyahoga County without paying more than 30 percent of income on rent? Compare that to Ohio's minimum wage and Ohio's median wage, and add the county's median household income and poverty rate. Name every source and the year of each number, show the arithmetic, and do not estimate anything you cannot find.
Housing Wage for a 2BR at HUD FMR — Cuyahoga County, OH
The calculation
The 2-bedroom Fair Market Rent (FMR) in Cuyahoga County is $1,279/month (HUD, FY2026).
Working the 30%-of-income rule with full-time = 40 hours/week × 52 weeks = 2,080 hours/year:
| Step | Math | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Annual rent at FMR | $1,279 × 12 | $15,348/year |
| Income needed so rent ≤ 30% | $15,348 ÷ 0.30 | $51,160/year |
| Hourly wage required | $51,160 ÷ 2,080 | $24.60/hour |
(Exact value: $24.596/hr — rounded to the cent.)
Sanity check: $24.60 × 2,080 × 0.30 ÷ 12 ≈ $1,278.87/month — essentially matches the $1,279 FMR.
Comparison 1 — Ohio's median wage (2025)
Ohio's 50th-percentile hourly wage in 2025 is $24.90/hour (BLS LAUS / EPI, 2025).
- Housing wage needed: $24.60/hr
- Ohio median wage: $24.90/hr
- Gap: +$0.30/hr in the median's favor.
The typical Ohio worker barely clears the 30%-rule housing bar for a 2BR at FMR — by thirty cents an hour.
Comparison 2 — Ohio's minimum wage
The labor-indicator search for Ohio's statutory minimum wage returned no records in the available data — zero hits for indicator minimum_wage, state OH. I will not estimate or substitute a figure. If you give me the rate and effective year you want to anchor to, I'll run the comparison.
Cuyahoga County context (ACS 2024, 5-year estimates)
- Median household income: $64,468
- Poverty rate: 16.1%
As a rough benchmark only (not asked for, just to size the wage against household income): $64,468 ÷ 2,080 ≈ $31.04/hr if a single full-time worker were the sole earner at the county median.
Sources and vintage for every number used
| Number | Value | Source | Year / vintage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2BR FMR, Cuyahoga County | $1,279/mo | HUD Fair Market Rents | FY2026 |
| Ohio median hourly wage (p50) | $24.90/hr | BLS LAUS / EPI | 2025 |
| Cuyahoga County median HH income | $64,468 | U.S. Census Bureau, ACS | 2024 (5-year) |
| Cuyahoga County poverty rate | 16.1% | U.S. Census Bureau, ACS | 2024 (5-year) |
| Ohio minimum wage | — | Not found in available data | — |
Bargaining takeaway (from the numbers above)
- A full-time worker in Cleveland needs $24.60/hr before a 2BR at FMR is affordable under the 30% rule.
- The Ohio median wage is essentially at that line — $0.30 above it — meaning half of hourly workers in the state fall below the housing wage for a 2BR at FMR. The 30th percentile ($19.11/hr, 2025) and 20th percentile ($16.44/hr, 2025) sit well below it.
- I'd suggest proposing a wage floor at or above $24.60/hr for full-time roles in Cuyahoga County, with language tying future increases to HUD FMR for the county so the standard keeps pace with rent.
Want me to pull the surrounding wage percentiles (p10–p90) so you can see the distribution, or run the same calculation at the 30th percentile (what a low-wage worker in your unit might actually be earning)?
